Joint Statement by a group of Ministers of the High Ambition Coalition

“We are deeply disappointed by today’s decision. Our commitment to the Paris Agreement is unshakeable. We have every reason to fight for its full implementation: our families, our health, our welfare, our security, our economies and our livelihoods.”

“As responsible climate leaders, we will continue to move decisively towards a more sustainable and competitive economy. Let us see the Paris Agreement and the low-carbon transition for what it is: the growth engine of our jobs and economies, and the key to our collective prosperity and well-being.”

“For people around the world most vulnerable to climate change the Paris Agreement represents the best hope for survival.”
